Is anyone familiar with Mick Rock's photography? He's taken some great photos of Lou Reed:

I've got a pile of great Mick Rock promo shots of Lou - including the "transformer" cover shot you posted (the Scala Cinema, King's Cross, July 14th or 28th 1972).

Ah! - I never knew the actual concert it was taken at! That's cool: I live near King's Cross!

I think Mick Rock is a really stunning photographer, and it's pretty impressive that he's still going after so many years - check out this article from the recent NME:

Lou's 14/7/72 Kings Cross show was his 1st "proper" UK show and he was back 2 weeks later on the 28th. (Iggy and the Stooges only UK show was on the 21st IIRC). Mick Rock took photos at all 3 shows but I've never been able to determine at exactly which one he took the "Transformer" cover shot at. I've got prints which came directly from his negatives but even they dont say which date the shots were taken on.
